If your child is advancing fast on the piano, and is beginning to use the pianos pedals but can not reach them, you should check out a pedal extender. A pedal extender is basically an adjustable height platform with 2 pedals on it. You place the platform over the actual piano pedals, and adjust the height to a comfortable level for your child. What this does is to allow the student to work the pedals without having to reach for them. Visit Pianoscomplete.com to see a few different piano pedal extenders.
